In practice two important aspects adhere to the notion of 'ownness'. Firstly, it refers to personal characteristics and is thus associated with someone's name and, for example, facial features, voice, the bodily shape and its shadow or reflection. People speak of someone's 'shadow image'. But much more weight is given to the fact that 'ownness' concerns the social identity of the person. The 'shadow image' is very closely linked to reputation, to the image a person has in society.
